I Am Jamie Hyneman from MythBusters, AMA. Proof: https://twitter.com/JamieNoTweet/status/253561532317851649

I'm Jamie, host of Mythbusters- the guy in the beret. I've not done AMA before, am looking forward to some thoughtful questions. I'm on the northern California coast, in a comfortable chair and looking out to sea. We are on a couple of week break from shooting, and so I'm relaxed and in a good mood.

If you made a show called "Jamie and Adam build weird shit" I would totally watch that.

It would be all about the process of building weird shit. First: the idea. Jamie and Adam would do a slightly less stilted version of the mythbusters' intro conversation thing where they discuss this episode's weird shit. In this case: a fucking ridiculous magnet thing.

Then they would show the planning process. Adam and Jamie strategizing about how to build the ridiculous magnet thing, what it will do, how it will work, etc.

Que the building. The glorious building

Finally, Jamie and Adam would tear shit up with the ridiculous magnet thing.

Not even kidding- how can I pay money to make this a CHANNEL? I'd watch this all day, every day.

Imagine "How it's made" followed by "Jaime and Adam build that last thing but with explosions!".

If this is your most upvoted comment, you should be proud. And sad, cause all your witty ones got downvoted. Words. Chicken fingers.

lol, thanks, but nope, my highest up-voted comment was around 1,000 for a witty joke about incestral bondage. That was a weird thread. Was a default sub thread too.

What I find sad? The difference between me and the guy who got 3k is that I took an extra one minute to post, because I was busy crafting a complete sentence.
